There is a long dark history of white folks murdering black folks in this country with little fear of having to pay for those crimes. That is very true.
Very true but I was questioning the number of killings by police that were deemed murder. There is a big difference between Floyd and Big Mike, one was a judged a good shooting, the other will be found a Murder.

Because they voted for Obama and things got worse.

Ever so true. Obama is the 'Great Pretender'. His entire life has been an enigma and anyone that tries to get close to finding something out gets stifled in some way. His mannerisms and speech are elegant...buttery smooth. He painted a picture of "Fundamentally Changing America" and unfortunately no one really understood what he truly meant.
Alas, The Great Pretender soon became The Great Disappointment and The Great Flimflam Man.

They were not dictators when they were promoting insurrection.
They are the same people they have always been, leftists of the deep end that aim to inflict there will upon society.
The teachings of Saul Alinsky are very similar to the teachings of Mussolini.
There are peaceful protesters, and there is an insurrection hiding within.

If you are really pissed about the destruction of the riots, and you are voicing that anger on social media, I get that. I'm with you.
If you are not just as pissed about the issue sparking the riots, and if you are voicing VIRTUALLY NOTHING on social media about that...
Then you may be part of our problem.
As MLK said, denounce the riot, but denounce the oppression that caused the riot just as vigorously.
Riot is the voice of the unheard.

Which is pointing the finger of our cultural, ingrained endemic bigotry.
Watch the news. There are protestors, peacefully assembled, in the streets.
They are NOT the people looting the stores.
They are NOT the people destroying property.
It's just too easy to use one label, and damn them all.
We had a business owner on the news- pointing at a group of white looters in black jeans and hoodies, organized by cell phones, knew each other's names. They knew which stores, get in get the good get out. They weren't the protestors. The Hispanic families following behind with grocery bags- they were not the protestors.
The police were hiding. Or en mass protecting the rich, the entitleds, the connected.
OR they were messing around the Americans again. Vons had a few in full Swat regalia yelling at shoppers.
I guess it made them feel powerful harassing the helpless.
And this too will blow over. Nothing real will get done. Remember Eric? George si right behind him.

Let’s not forget the original fascist progressive narrative via their toady press that Martin was Murdered in cold blood by a white man. As it became clear that Zimmerman was indeed Hispanic they began their spinning and hemming and hawing.

I understand what you state is a belief and it has facts behind it. Hopefully you’re also aware that young white men get killed by the police, even more so,then young black men. The same holds true for brutality. I understand there are more yo7 g white men then black men in America, but I also understand that young black men commit a hugely disproportional amount of both crimes and violent crimes.
I point this all out because the specific problem IMHO is not racism but the generally bad police practices and the specific number of bad police.

How many of those killings were actually murders?
Here is the 2018 breakdown of the 995 people shot and killed by the police:
403 were white, 210 were black, 148 were Hispanic, 38 were classified as other, and 199 were classified as unknown.
Out of that 995, 47 were unarmed — 23 were white, 17 were black, 5 were Hispanic, and 2 were unknown.
Out of the 30-50 million interactions that the police had with the American public last year, 10 million people were arrested, and less than 0.01 percent were shot and killed by the police. Out of those 10 million people arrested, 47 of those shot and killed were unarmed, which equates to 0.00047 percent, 17 of which were black.

Very true. I believe it was CBS that actually altered the phone tape of Zimmerman's call to the police dispatcher to show that Zimmerman was a racist. That is what the MSM has given America, antered views of what really happened to please the Democrats who swallow it hook, line and sinker.
Liberals blame Fox News saying Fox lies. But when I have asked for proof of lies such as that above there never seems to be any evidence forthcoming.

So how many dead black people would you like to see.
Some of your facts “do not make sense”. You said that there were 30 -50 million interactions with police by Americans last year. Of these between 33% and 10% were arrested. Do you know anyone who was arrested? Between speeding tickets and rolling stops, who do you think the cops arrest most often? Per your argument between 33% and 10% of them get arrested .
I go to NFL games. Between following instructions for parking and just talking while waiting to park, I have an interaction with police while parking the car and so do most people. With 25,000 autos, where do they park over 2,500 cars every game when 10% are arrested.
Your numbers are questionable at best.

Awwww, how cute! Missus Moore cannot dispute facts so she just cries about them!
Your problem is that you are a racist and you are a race baiter.
I think that in general there are too many people killed, period! It would be nice to be in a society where people didn’t commit crimes, where there were no bad cops, where there were no crap procedures.
You, on the other hand, as a race baiter you only want to discuss one color, black, and not the other four because you know as a race baiter that it will create arguments.
Here’s a teaser for you from the U.S. department of justice......
“ In 2015, an estimated 21% of
U.S. residents age 16 or older— about 53.5 million persons—had
experienced some type of contact with the police during the prior
12 months (fgure 1). This was down from 26% of residents in 2011.
A similar percentage of residents”
